Episode 10: Politics, Evolution, and Gender: A Heterodox Firestorm and Lessons Learned, Glenn Geher

In this episode of Heterodox Out Loud, Glenn Geher, Professor of Psychology and Founding Director of the Evolutionary Studies Program at the State University of New York, New Paltz tells us the story of when he invited Dr. Lionel Tiger, the Charles Darwin Professor of Anthropology at Rutgers University, to campus to speak on the value of the evolutionary perspective on the modern world, and how it became a day he would never forget.  His piece is called, “Politics, Evolution, and Gender: A Heterodox Firestorm and Lessons Learned”
